    specific arrangement of collagen fibers within tissues

    Collagen architecture refers to the specific arrangement and organization of collagen fibers within tissues. This structure is crucial because it influences the mechanical properties and function of the tissue, such as skin elasticity and strength. In the context of hair and alopecia, changes in collagen architecture can affect the health of hair follicles and potentially contribute to hair loss.

      Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.

      Making a 1 year update on hair loss treatment of Finasteride, 5 mg oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil with 1.5 mm dermarolling; the user experienced some face pimples, baggy eyes, and had tried skin care. They also used fiber with their hair product and left it for a few days to make it look visually better. Replies were positive and one asked if using both oral and topical minoxidil was overkill.

      community Why don’t more people use hair fibers?

      Hair fibers can effectively cover thinning hair when used with minoxidil and hairspray but require daily application and can be inconvenient in certain conditions. Some users prefer treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, or wigs due to the maintenance and limitations of hair fibers.
